You should totally submit that photo to FAILblogs! It’s facepalm-worthy in the extreme.

It’s an acronym for their full name in Afrikaans: Christelike Uitgewers Maatskappy (Christian Publishing Company). Funny thing is they are in just about every mall in South Africa.
Thank you Eugene. You have solved the mystery.

Well, I dunno… some parts of Song of Solomon do get a bit randy…. jes sayin…
